Operating Profit1 Capex Effective Tax Rate $1,050 - $1,150 MM $1,150 - $1,350 Packaged Meats Fresh Pork Hog Production $400 - $500 MM 23% - 25% $150 - $250 MM $0 - $100 MM 1 The Company’s outlook for fiscal year 2025 includes adjusted operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit. The Company is not able to reconcile its fiscal year 2025 projected adjusted results to its fiscal year 2025 projected GAAP results because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.
